Netflix’s biggest escapist smash is coming back for season five in a matter of months.
Emily in Paris, with its titular beret aficionado (Lily Collins) and her ever-dramatic love life, is set to return to the streaming service just in time for Christmas.
Season four of the Europe-hopping drama, complete with miniature croissant stress-level storylines, delivered a cliffhanger that questioned the entire premise of the show.
The finale left Paris in favour of Rome, and then the final season scene saw our fashion-forward heroine start to change her Instagram handle, from @EmilyinParis to @Emilyin….
Rome? Maybe. We never find out, because her new love interest Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini) comes knocking.

After a year’s wait, we will finally be able to find out where exactly Emily stands with Paris. The official Netflix account on X shared first-look pictures at season five, with the caption: ‘Benvenuto! Your first look at Emily in Paris season five is here, coming to Netflix December 18!’
So we’re only a few months away from more classic, girl TV. And there’s more good news yet, folks. This season will not follow in the footsteps of the last and split the episodes up into a two-part release.
Instead, all 10 episodes of season five will arrive in one binge-worthy lot in December – hurrah!
The first look photos tease not only Rome as a new hotspot on the show, but Venice, with Emily (and a new chic bob) seen jetting through the sinking city’s waters.
According to the season summary, Lily Collins’ Emily Cooper is now the head of Agence Grateau Rome, and she faces challenges to her career and love life as she adjusts to her new home.
We’ll also see Lucien Laviscount’s Alfie back, after a rather slim showing from the gruff Londoner in season four. Plus, Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) is still in the mix – despite making his not-entirely-praiseworthy thoughts on the last season very public.
The official Netflix summary continues: ‘But just as everything falls into place, a work idea backfires, and the fallout cascades into heartbreak and career setbacks.
‘Seeking stability, Emily leans into her French lifestyle, until a big secret threatens one of her closest relationships. Tackling conflict with honesty, Emily emerges with deeper connections, renewed clarity, and a readiness to embrace new possibilities.’
Emily in Paris season 5 drops on Netflix on December 18.
